Russia

Igor Akinfeev- 6

Not really challenged and couldn’t do anything about Croatia’s goals.

Mario Fernandes- 7.5

Good movement off the ball saw him play a higher role that crated attacking opportunities up front and saved Russia with an equaliser in the second half of stoppage time.

Ilya Kutepov- 6

Stepped up to take the free kicks in the first half, delivering them well into the box from outside the area.

Sergei Ignashevich- 6.5

Didn’t provide anything for the highlight reel but got stuck into the Croatian attack and made it very difficult for them to find space in the box.

Fyodor Kudryashov- 7

Wasn’t afraid to dribble the ball up the field but made sure to get back so Croatia couldn’t capitalise on transitional play.

Daler Kuzyayev- 6.5

Provided the creative flair for Russia in the midfield taking on players and playing his teammates into space.

Roman Zobnin- 8

Challenged for everything he could in the midfield and prevented Croatia settling into their natural tempo.

Aleksandr Samedov- 5.5

A relatively quiet game for the midfielder, he was replaced in the 54th minute.

Aleksandr Golovin- 7

Pressed the defence, restricting their space and forcing a few errors.
